Patient's question:
Male child, already 8 years old. In this year, I noticed that the child is getting more and more chubby, and he eats more food than the average child. Usually, he doesn't like to go out to play. Please ask: How to treat obesity in children who don't like vegetables.Doctor's answer:
If you discover that your child has pediatric obesity, you should first arrange reasonable exercise and a healthy diet for them. Parents can encourage their child to engage in sports that are beneficial for weight loss, such as jogging or swimming. In terms of diet, the child should eat more cucumbers, carrots, spinach, and other nutritious foods. It is crucial not to let the child consume high-calorie foods like cakes, potato chips, or cola. Parents should also address their child's reluctance to exercise and picky eating habits in daily life. During the treatment for pediatric obesity, if parents notice that the child's condition worsens significantly, they should promptly take them to the hospital to identify the underlying causes and receive targeted treatment.
